The 300zx.co.uk annual club meet for 2016 has been organised, with a return to Coventry Transport Museum and Millenium Place.

For those that haven't been, the Museum is a great place to visit, and parking right outside on Millenium Place draws lots of attention and some great photo opportunities. Lexx did a fantastic job organising this location in 2014.

 

This year we will also be holding our AGM at the museum for subscribed members to attend.

In addition, we will be holding a general meeting where hopefully the REO's will be presenting their ideas for the 2017 annual club meet, where all members can vote for their preferred location, giving the REO a year to put all of the plans into place.

 

With this in mind, we have decided to nominate a local hotel as a central meeting point the day before, to set the format for following years where the annual meet could be anywhere in the country.

This will allow members that are travelling from afar to arrive the day before, meet up with other fellow members, have a nice social evening and meal, before arriving nice and fresh at the meeting venue the following morning after a short drive.

 

The nominated hotel this year is Premier Inn at Hinckley, which has an attached Brewers Fayre pub and restaurant, located next to a canal and marina. It is a 30 minute drive to the Museum on Sunday morning.

 

12 rooms are already reserved, 8 at £68 4 at £70, which are available on first come first served basis by contacting me on PM and sending the money via PayPal or bank transfer. I will need your full names, how many of you, and if you want a double, twin or family room.

Breakfast is not included in the price but can be paid for separately on arrival or in the morning.

Alternatively, you can contact the hotel yourself and make your own reservations, particularly if you want to stay extra nights.

The price increased from £68 to £70 automatically once a certain number of rooms were booked, and are likely to increase again at a certain threshold as more rooms are booked. But the hotel staff have no control over that as it is built into the booking system.

The direct line for the hotel is 01455 896920.

 

Rooms can be cancelled up to 1pm on the day, but I will be cancelling any unconfirmed or unpaid for rooms the week before that, when the menu choices are confirmed to the restaurant. If you have booked via me, then I will will refund any cancellations that are notified in time to cancel the booking.

 

The restaurant has a separate mezzanine area which has been reserved for a group meal on the Saturday evening for 30 people, but we can confirm the numbers at a later date, and can probably accommodate up to 50 people.

If anyone is local and wants to attend the meal, that will be fine, subject to the same food pre-booking details below.

 

We must provide the confirmed menu choices the week before, which we will then be committed to, whether you turn up or not.

So if you have ordered and cannot make it, we will end up having to pick up the bill, which is not ideal, so please only place your menu orders when you know for sure you are attending.

The new menu is published 17th March and a link will be added at that time and the opportunity to collect menu choices over the following weeks.

 

Please confirm on the thread whether you plan to attend the meet, whether you plan to stay at the nominated hotel, and whether you want to reserve a room through me or directly, or whether you just want to turn up for just the meet or the meal.

 

E.g.

Name, meet, hotel booking, room type, meal

Craig+2, attending meet, hotel Booked via Craig, family room, yes

Anon, attending meet only, no hotel, no meal

Is it 10am the meet starts? What time can we get into the car parking area?

the meet start time of 10am is because i think that is the time that we can get into the area. i dont think we can get access earlier than that.

As Craig has said, 10am is when the museum staff open the gate and hand it over to us.

Please read below for directions and rules. Sorry if it is a bit small you might need to zoom in to read it.

Sounds about right,

 

Did I miss this, but when can we arrive at the hotel? I might be early so I can wait outside no problem?

ok guys. rooms all sorted and table booked.

 

can book in from 2, unless they had a busy friday, so 3 is preferred.

but i need to be there first to for them to charge on arrival, so i will be there by 2.

 

our table is booked for 7pm.

You can arrive at any time Alic but your room wont be ready till the above times.

We will need 3 or 4 volunteers to man the main entrance in and show the drivers where to park. They need to be with me at the museum at 10.00 hrs so if you can help then please say here or pm me. Hi vis vests will be provided.
